cyrusr Posted April 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2021 Just now, Seat68 said: That Ramones album is flawless start to finish. The last with the classic lineup on instruments as well. Not to say they didn’t produce works of art after that, and its not even in my top 3 Ramones albums but for what it is, its a classic. Lets just say I was very pleased when that got picked! Definitely one of their best without a shadow of a doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave Home I understand but Too Tough to Die & Animal Boy are "non-classic" era (so to speak). I know that these were a return to the older sound after End of The Century and the next 2, but still a little surprised if I am honest. Not to say there are not good tracks on them and do like them, particularly Too Tough To Die, but not sure I would put them at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I posted up there my 3 favourite Ramones albums. They are the popular ones and at least one of them isn’t considered to be amongst their best work. If you were to name some great Ramones albums, they would not feature. My favourite Johnny Cash albums are from a period not deemed to be his best, late 70s and early 80s. Very much an over looked period of his life. Not what the cool kids bring up with their Sun Records and their Hurt. I am wondering about the reasoning behind these floating my boat. Is it because if you are a fan, a big fan of an artist or group you become over familiar with the great tracks and so need something off the beaten track? Or is it because it says I am cool check me out I prefer Highway Patrolman to Folsom Prison Blues. I think its the former. I want to hear Sheena Is A Punkrocker or I Walk The Line again for the first time. Thats gone though. This is why I prefer Let It Be to Revolver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I answered above but they really have some great tunes that get overlooked. Dee Dee is utterly **** phenomenal on Animal Boy as well.

It's not bad to be honest. Pretty straight up rock but a bit of fun with a lot of puns. It also has the Carcass guitarist in it which is just fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Not that they’ve bothered putting the name of the guy on the cover, but it’s B.B. Seaton. Very much the lighter / hotel lobby music end of dub. The sort of music they put in the between scenes links on Death In Paradise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Listening to Hustlers Row by Gentlemans Pistols as mentioned by @cyrusr Straight up rock, a more melodic Wolfmother. Who I dislike intensely. This is more akin to good early 70s rock. More Golden Earring than Led Zep. No direct Carcass influence up to now. 7/10 wb, wba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if you didn't know about the Carcass link you wouldn't be able to tell! Glad you like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
